Peel Regional Paramedic Services keeps track of private and public AEDs in Peel through an AED database. 911 call-takers use this database to let callers know where the closest AED is. If the caller can get an AED and use it before paramedics arrive, they can act to save a life.
Ontario law requires you to register your AED.
Register your AED
In the 3 years before Bill 141 was passed, there were 600 cardiac arrests in Peel that took place within 250 metres of an AED. Those AEDs were not registered and, therefore, not used. No one knew a life-saving device was minutes away!
If your AED is already registered
Refer to the AED location map to find out if we already know about your AED. You can view this map any time on your mobile device using the PulsePoint AED registry app.
You can also add an AED you find in the community. Visit PulsePoint for more information.
Other benefits of registering your AED
- You'll receive free replacement pads and other accessories after your AED is used in an emergency.
- If you're hosting a large event or off-site gathering, you can borrow an AED from us for free.
- If your AED cannot be serviced on site after it's been used, we'll loan you an AED for free.
- You'll receive an information tag to attach to your AED. This tag details what to do after your AED has been used.
- You'll feel good knowing you're helping save lives in your community.
Regularly inspect your AED
As part of Bill 141, you must inspect your AED regularly. Your AED must be in a rescue-ready state.
